13000 ? A Team that is top of the league doesn't deserve it. I dont know what else Kean can do. He is just fighting a loosing battle, but atleast doing it honourably.

Where have you been for the last 18 months

There is nothing honourable about being a lieing drunk driver who lies week in week out.

Give Venkys there due spending all that money John Bond could get this team to the top of the Chumpipnship.

Get a real manager in who dies not bring my club into disrepute and then I will return not before.

Proper fans back ? Who are proper fans? Regardless whois the manager, the 13000 who are supporting the team are the proper fans. Just sitting in front of a computer & typing filth are not proper fans. Iam a Rovers fan who is outside UK now. I hate Kean. I do. But whats the point ? We are in Championship. We got to get back to the PL. But in order to do that players need support. As I see it,theyare getting it from the 13000. Numerous game now they have shownthe character by coming from behind. I doubt it would be happening the so called boo boys were in Ewood. Those proper fans would be supporting Barnsley when the firs goal went in, like what happened last year. Are those proper fans ? . You could dislike my commen as much as you want. I care less. But dont preach here who is proper fans &who are not to me.

Its ok for me to watch it on TV being over a thousand miles away but I really don't know how you can keep away LP...

Watching the team you love play live and win is what it is all about sir. I think some fans have forgotten what football is all about now - they seem to have got that caught-up in the hatred for all the off field stuff that they have forgot that it is all about what happens ON the field that counts.

Football is about the 11 players representing your team on the pitch and doing their best to win for the fans and the club.

Kean OUT yes pls - but reality and football IN...

Good win for the team despite the handicap of having kean and hendry in charge.

Keep up the boycott

KEAN OUT NOW

Drunk driving is his personal thing. Every man in he world has a dark side. Who knows what you are doing when you are not working ? You could have a good day job and who knowswhat you are doing rest of the time. Every one has adark side, me you every one. Everyoneis human. Every one makes mistake. Thats the world order. If not, there wont be need of prisons or Churches in this world. Get over his drinking problems. With all the lack of support, all the rubbish throw athim,all the media fnas against him-atleast he is not giving up. So many other men would have just given in. At least he has the guts to fight to it out.

You are of course entitled to your opinion. But please do not include all the boyotters in you rant. It is and was only a small minority that were happy to cheer opposition goals. The majority of the boycotters are decent long serving Rovers fans appalled at the goings on at OUR club. We feel helpless but are trying our best to get rid of the worst manager of the Rovers we have ever had to endure. only time will tell the affects all this desent is going to have on the club and it's future.

Well played rovers just need a few clean sheets to go with the excellent start to the season,

Kean sack part timers dont bother coming back (atmosphere was good tonight)

Yeah course it was a great atmosphere, and easy parking and no queue for a beer. And I bet the football was amazing.

Reports suggest there was nowhere near 13,000 there, but then you seem to be good at taking in spin.

You could be right.
My point is, I will not bash him on the pretext of drinking. I would rather look at his onfield activities rather than off field ones.

The question I ask is, did he do enough to warrant a posiion in club based on astyear form - No. He has been given the jobthis year. I disagreed. But thistime, he was properly backed by the owners and he is putting out a team that istopofthe league&hasnt lost a game. To me, that is enough to back the team now. What if we sack Kean and thenew manager who ever it is cannot keep the winning form. Some of us will look like a fool then.

Hi Frenchy
No disrespect to you being thousands of miles away but it is different being in the town, it's miserable enough with our weather but having this idiot in charge for the last 2 years has worn me and a lot more fans down.

Lies and more lies, our club then employs a gambler who rips of pensioners, the owners (last year at least) did not give a toss about BRFC, Mrs Desai is so pigheaded but then again according to Kean himself in his drunken rant they are as bad calling BFS a crook, no the club is in the gutter at the moment so it's not just about watching a football match its watching you club being dragged through the gutter with this lot.

Whilst others have forgotten what the real issue is. A few wins change nothing

I don't agree that any (well not many) true Rovers fans have forgotten what the off the field issues are.

The odious one will NEVER be forgiven for the lies and insults that he has been shovelling out at Rovers fans for almost two years now and the damage he has done to our proud club.

Venkys may be forgiven (with time) as they do seem to be trying to run the club in a better manner this season.
But any forgiveness or cease of hostilities against VK will only be possible when SK is gone.

I have not forgotten nor forgiven - but I refuse to give SK the satisfaction of thinking he is winning the battle against the fans, which I am sure he does think right now.

I am sure that he smiles widely when he sees the poor attendances and unrest and arguments between Rovers fans. Divide and conquer is his motto for sure. He wont be sacked for any of these things unless there is a major change in Mrs Desias mind - so why should he worry.

But none of that off the field rubbish will stop me from supporting the team and enjoying a so much better than ever expected start to the season. Another win, still unbeaten, and STILL top of the league. Who would have thowt it!

Excuses about what?? I went, I saw, we conquered and you guys sat on here waiting for me to get back from another mauling of the enemy. We are still top of the league and your absence is achieving nothing but positive vibes for the 8000 spartans will continue to battle through, whilst you sit on here and talk about being a good supporter.
Bring it on Friday when all these armchair fans can see we spartans refusing to throw in the towel.
Onwards and upwards. Fortune favours the brave, shopping channel favours the weak.

Dont disagree with you but our club is now in the gutter employing people like Kean and Hendry and in my opinion it's not about being top of the league it's about having respect for your club which at this moment in time I have not.

Your only looking at the tip of the iceberg, the club has been ripped apart and is a total shambles behind the scenes.

Thousands of us are not prepared to stand back and watch it happen without registering our disapproval, the club has totally ignored the fans feelings from day one but they cant ignore a near empty stadium.

Can you name me another club in any division who doesn't care about their supporters or sponsors.

Can you name me another club in any division that doesn't have a shirt sponsor ?

My real problem lies back in January when it was blindingly obvious money had to be spent and wasn't.Money was spent even though we let go of a lot of premier expierience this summer,why did they wait till we were relegated to realise this

Boycott continues

you are right LP...nothing changes - Rovers are still Top of the League, still unbeaten and Rhodes and Nunes score again....pray to god that nothing changes all season eh! (apart from a new manager of course).....superb!

Hi Frenchy
At lleast we can watch it on Sky on Friday, Can't wait for RU to get home with his 8000 Spartans ?

Its ok for me to watch it on TV being over a thousand miles away but I really don't know how you can keep away LP...

Watching the team you love play live and win is what it is all about sir. I think some fans have forgotten what football is all about now - they seem to have got that caught-up in the hatred for all the off field stuff that they have forgot that it is all about what happens ON the field that counts.

Football is about the 11 players representing your team on the pitch and doing their best to win for the fans and the club.

Kean OUT yes pls - but reality and football IN...

Whilst others have forgotten what the real issue is. A few wins change nothing

I don't agree that any (well not many) true Rovers fans have forgotten what the off the field issues are.

The odious one will NEVER be forgiven for the lies and insults that he has been shovelling out at Rovers fans for almost two years now and the damage he has done to our proud club.

Venkys may be forgiven (with time) as they do seem to be trying to run the club in a better manner this season.
But any forgiveness or cease of hostilities against VK will only be possible when SK is gone.

I have not forgotten nor forgiven - but I refuse to give SK the satisfaction of thinking he is winning the battle against the fans, which I am sure he does think right now.

I am sure that he smiles widely when he sees the poor attendances and unrest and arguments between Rovers fans. Divide and conquer is his motto for sure. He wont be sacked for any of these things unless there is a major change in Mrs Desias mind - so why should he worry.

But none of that off the field rubbish will stop me from supporting the team and enjoying a so much better than ever expected start to the season. Another win, still unbeaten, and STILL top of the league. Who would have thowt it!

How confident you are when & if Venkys sack Kean. Do you believe in Venkys to come up with a manager, who will be good enough ?. I certainly dont believe it. They could very well appoint Shebby Singh as manager .I would rather support the team who are doing well now. I like some of our players - Rhodes, Gomes, Formica, Rochina. Some times feel sad with not having to see live games here in aussie land.

Wow. Attendance under 13000

Boycotted 1 Spartans 0 Are you taking note Shebby.

Kean out boycotters back.

Midweek weakness shown by the spartans in the appalling weather. Didn't think i'd see the day.
We'll see next home game on a saturday what the attendance is like, should be a good yardstick, anyways as I said before, please continue the boycott, we haven't stopped winning since all you glory hunters fcked off. And I don't have to que for a pie either. Fancy being conducted by a bunch of welders. Top of the league and watched it all happen. Enjoy your shopping trip Superb.

ha ha you have more excuses than Mr Kean, in fact you are starting to sound just like him, totally deluded.

Excuses about what?? I went, I saw, we conquered and you guys sat on here waiting for me to get back from another mauling of the enemy. We are still top of the league and your absence is achieving nothing but positive vibes for the 8000 spartans will continue to battle through, whilst you sit on here and talk about being a good supporter.
Bring it on Friday when all these armchair fans can see we spartans refusing to throw in the towel.
Onwards and upwards. Fortune favours the brave, shopping channel favours the weak.

I wasn't sat here waiting for you to return, I watched a cracking game between Real Madrid and City.

At least I watched some proper football tonight which is more than you did, 30% possession was it and that was mainly in our own half.

Honourably?

Where have you been for the last 18 months

There is nothing honourable about being a lieing drunk driver who lies week in week out.

Give Venkys there due spending all that money John Bond could get this team to the top of the Chumpipnship.

Get a real manager in who dies not bring my club into disrepute and then I will return not before.

Drunk driving is his personal thing. Every man in he world has a dark side. Who knows what you are doing when you are not working ? You could have a good day job and who knowswhat you are doing rest of the time. Every one has adark side, me you every one. Everyoneis human. Every one makes mistake. Thats the world order. If not, there wont be need of prisons or Churches in this world. Get over his drinking problems. With all the lack of support, all the rubbish throw athim,all the media fnas against him-atleast he is not giving up. So many other men would have just given in. At least he has the guts to fight to it out.

I think the 1.5 million a year helps him fight on!!!!

You could be right.
My point is, I will not bash him on the pretext of drinking. I would rather look at his onfield activities rather than off field ones.

The question I ask is, did he do enough to warrant a posiion in club based on astyear form - No. He has been given the jobthis year. I disagreed. But thistime, he was properly backed by the owners and he is putting out a team that istopofthe league&hasnt lost a game. To me, that is enough to back the team now. What if we sack Kean and thenew manager who ever it is cannot keep the winning form. Some of us will look like a fool then.

Your only looking at the tip of the iceberg, the club has been ripped apart and is a total shambles behind the scenes.

Thousands of us are not prepared to stand back and watch it happen without registering our disapproval, the club has totally ignored the fans feelings from day one but they cant ignore a near empty stadium.

Can you name me another club in any division who doesn't care about their supporters or sponsors.

Can you name me another club in any division that doesn't have a shirt sponsor ?

Shirt sponsor ? Who will sponsor a club where Fans don't bother turning up ?
Venkys were he keyproblem last year. The way they went about things including Kean. To me, Kean is not at fault.
He was given the job, not backed as manager in first year against promises of Ronaldinh etc etc... Fans were angered against Venkys and Kean was just their mouth piece. All the anger turned against him and he buckled under pressure & took to drinking right after games, which again went against him. Eventually we went down with every thing imploding.

This season, Venkys have backed the manager with signings. Kean has baacked the management by getting 14 points of 6 games wihout losing.
Theonly missing ingredient is fans. Fans get back to field, I am sure we will get the sponsors back - our players have more to play for and Kean under lesser pressure and might not take to drinkin (though its his personal thing) and may be the world will be brighter. Sometimes, people need second chance and if we deny them, may be we will start regretting some times later.

I'll never forget what Keanocchio has done to my/our Football Club or all the depressing Saturdays we had last season,and then having to read about it in the Sunday papers.What about the treatment of Salgado/Nelsen/Nzonz
i. A decent man would have resigned but not Kean, that speaks volumes about the man. Never forive him for that or forget.

I think you have lost all your credibility with these comments critic, I now have you marked as a wind up merchant.

Don't really know how they won that but they did,again.
Dire and passed to death first half.Much better seacond half when the Tykes ran out of legs.
Superb goal by Rhodes and,HERE WE GO,cracking subs by Kean at just the right time to win the game.
Big game on Friday,may the luck be with us.

make's me laugh if most of u moaning fan's wud but the same effort into something useful u might make enough money to buy the club which u badly want then we can see how good or crap u wud run things ofc u wudnt make any mistakes and u havent done any in ur own life either have u

Reading some of these comments from so called fans that dont go to games is an absolute joke. Saying you wont go and watch rovers whilst hendry is there! Why? at least he is doing his bit in trying to get them to defend (not successfully at the minute).

Saying that only proper fans stay away, how does that work.

One of you saying I watched a proper football tonight madrid v city, some fan you are. I bet you was one of the morons that was calling for sam to get sacked when venky's took over.

Another so called fan whining that we got rid of players like salgado, yet the season before the majority of fans were saying hes past it need to get rid.

Kean, since venky's took over will have done exactly what they wanted and thats to get rid of the likes of salgado, Samba he wanted to leave in each and every transfer window, at least when they did let him go it was to another country.

then you had some fan saying the club was going to hit the wall in january and players wont be paid. he is the one thats divided the fans not kean with his bullcr4p .

Get of ya high horse, kean isnt going anywhere for the foreseeable future, its early days yes but we have the team to win promotion with or without the so called 10000

oh and Villarreal

Kean has finally told the truth! He said the Rovers didn't play well. So there we have it in a nutshell. The team as players are certainly good enough to win promotion. But! The management of that team will be their downfall if they stick to Kean's tactics.

Shirt sponsor ? Who will sponsor a club where Fans don't bother turning up ? Venkys were he keyproblem last year. The way they went about things including Kean. To me, Kean is not at fault. He was given the job, not backed as manager in first year against promises of Ronaldinh etc etc... Fans were angered against Venkys and Kean was just their mouth piece. All the anger turned against him and he buckled under pressure & took to drinking right after games, which again went against him. Eventually we went down with every thing imploding. This season, Venkys have backed the manager with signings. Kean has baacked the management by getting 14 points of 6 games wihout losing. Theonly missing ingredient is fans. Fans get back to field, I am sure we will get the sponsors back - our players have more to play for and Kean under lesser pressure and might not take to drinkin (though its his personal thing) and may be the world will be brighter. Sometimes, people need second chance and if we deny them, may be we will start regretting some times later.

Steve Kean was not "given" the job; he, how shall we say, took advantage of a favourable set of pretty unique circumstances (think I'll get away with that) knowing what the situation was regarding signings etc. He is complicit in the shambles the owners created.

In fairness they did speak with Ronaldinho's people but it was never going to happen. The thing is, everyone knew it was never going to happen. In fact, it was embarrassing, something which may not have come across to Australia.

I agreed the drunk driving thing shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him with; nor would it be a reason to sack him in itself. The problem is his "defence" in court was of fans spiking his drink and just another example of the many lies,indiscretions and general disrespect for the supporters which have turned them against him. You will have noticed even those who argue against boycotting games almost unanimously agree he should be/ have been sacked.

He has also overseen some of the most embarrassing performances by a Rovers team in the Premier League. These of course led to the ultimate limp-wristed surrender of our PL status. This is a far more valid reason for him to be booted out.

There were strong rumours some of the Raos (Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum) wanted to give him the hook after the Bolton game last December; it would have been a logical time to do it. They were overruled by big sis, Mrs Desai. That shows you who wears the trousers and, as she has no idea about football, what a state we are in.

They have put bums on seats over the Summer but only people with no experience or proven failures. Shebby Singh has come in as our Global Advisor - I still have to chuckle when I see that ridiculous title - and he made bold statements about Kean's position. They were shot down immediately. He is a front man, a mouthpiece, a nobody.

Paul Hunt (former Asst CEO) urged Mrs D to sack Kean - he was himself sacked about a day after his e-mail to her was leaked. This was for "financial reasons", of course.

He is also known to have said (to Graham Jones MP) Kean was far too close to Mrs D. One thing is certain, Kean has influenced most of the appointments and thereby created a human shield around him.

Even if Kean was to be sacked, who would the owners turn to? Kean's human shield would try and stop it happening in the first place and don't seem to be able to see beyond Preston even if it did.

And Shebby would recommend himself.

As for the shirt sponsor; the gates are irrelevant. Last year we were playing in the most widely broadcast league in the world but still couldn't get a sponsor. It's the TV figures which will initially attract the bigger sponsors and then the image of the club they sponsor. As you drop down the leagues, both are affected and you end up with the corner shop paying fifity quid a game plus the cost of the print.

If they couldn't get one last year, then what does that say?

Living down under for the last three years probably explains why you haven't quite got the whole story or a true feel for what has happened over the last two.

I can assure you there is a good deal more going on than has been reported in the press.

I am one of the conscientious objectors so cannot comment on the performances. It would appear little has changed though; the results suggest we remain defensively fragile and yet capable of scoring a few goals. For Yakubu and Hoillett read Rhodes and Nuno Gomes. The problem is, we are in a lower league and the comparative quality of our front two and lack of it in the opposition means we may get away with it this year. There are still forty games to go and things can change in a relatively short time in this division . Late runs resulting in sides getting promoted are far from unusual.

Venkys can throw their financial weight around this year - some would say they are just putting some of the profit they have already made on transfers back in to team. If we were to get promoted, they could not compete and have a manager without the ability to produce an effective team given those constraints.

And if we don't get promoted, how long will they bankroll the club, given the growing financial costs they would incur?

When will they decide to cut their losses, accept it was a mistake to get involved, realise whatever assets they can and just let the business die?

That for me is the concern.

Honourably? Where have you been for the last 18 months There is nothing honourable about being a lieing drunk driver who lies week in week out. Give Venkys there due spending all that money John Bond could get this team to the top of the Chumpipnship. Get a real manager in who dies not bring my club into disrepute and then I will return not before.

Drunk driving is his personal thing. Every man in he world has a dark side. Who knows what you are doing when you are not working ? You could have a good day job and who knowswhat you are doing rest of the time. Every one has adark side, me you every one. Everyoneis human. Every one makes mistake. Thats the world order. If not, there wont be need of prisons or Churches in this world. Get over his drinking problems. With all the lack of support, all the rubbish throw athim,all the media fnas against him-atleast he is not giving up. So many other men would have just given in. At least he has the guts to fight to it out.

I think the 1.5 million a year helps him fight on!!!!

You could be right. My point is, I will not bash him on the pretext of drinking. I would rather look at his onfield activities rather than off field ones. The question I ask is, did he do enough to warrant a posiion in club based on astyear form - No. He has been given the jobthis year. I disagreed. But thistime, he was properly backed by the owners and he is putting out a team that istopofthe league&hasnt lost a game. To me, that is enough to back the team now. What if we sack Kean and thenew manager who ever it is cannot keep the winning form. Some of us will look like a fool then.

Your only looking at the tip of the iceberg, the club has been ripped apart and is a total shambles behind the scenes. Thousands of us are not prepared to stand back and watch it happen without registering our disapproval, the club has totally ignored the fans feelings from day one but they cant ignore a near empty stadium. Can you name me another club in any division who doesn't care about their supporters or sponsors. Can you name me another club in any division that doesn't have a shirt sponsor ?

Real Zaragoza in La Liga

Some Spanish clubs have not had a shirt sponsor until very recently as a matter of principle - Bilbao and Barca probably the two best known.

Given the size of Barcelona, it would have been easy to get a substantial sponsor at any time yet they only relented a couple of years ago.

I don't know if Zaragoza is/was the same although I don't recall seeing one on their shirts in the past.

The Spanish economy is in a bit of a state so they genuinely may not be able to find one, even if they wanted.
